Wait.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s a “Tea Party Federation” that hovers over the various Tea Party groups?\u00c2\u00a0 I guess there would have to be a “Federation” leader, tugging it into the direction of the corporate Republican Party establishment I’d gather.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I had to give the NAACP some credit, after hearing and seeing some of the interviews last week.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a case of “Name who”, and they did indeed name who.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Matt Williams. \u00c2\u00a0The “Tea Party Express” guy.\u00c2\u00a0 So, I guess, the “Tea Party Express” has been kicked out of the “Federation<\/a>“, and that is… that? What is with these guys and their imaginary conversations with Abraham Lincoln?<\/p>\n Matt Williams never signed up for the Federation. Also, Every Tea Party success (however defined)\u00c2\u00a0claimed to their own sector.\u00c2\u00a0 Take this headline from the “Daily Paul”:<\/p>\n Rasmussen: US Senate Race Ron Paul Endorsed Clint Didier 48% Incumbent Murray 45%<\/a>.<\/p>\n Leave aside the sketchiness of Ramussen as a polling unit, as well the fact that even tossing in all Rasmussen polls this fits the category of the “One of these things is doing its own thing” — wait and see, I suppose, and go to the problem with this headline.\u00c2\u00a0 Nobody knows Clint Didier as a “Ron Paul” endorsed candidate.\u00c2\u00a0 They know Clint Didier as endorsed by the politician that he’s touting with great fury — Sarah Palin!<\/a><\/p>\n Sarah Palin is kicking Ron Paul’s ass.\u00c2\u00a0 Google “Clint Didier” and “Ron Paul” and you get\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a034,100 results.\u00c2\u00a0 Google “Clint Didier” and “Sarah Palin” and you get 83,300 results. Palin, creative grammatarian <\/a>in the tradition of great Republican forebears like Theodore Roosevelt <\/a>— Somewhat noteworthy, Sarah Palin hopped aboard the “Tea Party Express”.\u00c2\u00a0 She’ll either have to stick with it, but if she does she will no longer be a part of the Federation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wait.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s a “Tea Party Federation” that hovers over the various Tea Party groups?\u00c2\u00a0 I guess there would have to be a “Federation” leader, tugging it into the direction of the corporate Republican Party establishment I’d gather.

\nFrom a point of tactical “All Hands on Deck” spittle war, this is unfortunate for “Tea Party”.\u00c2\u00a0 NEVER Surrender, never give up an inch — the\u00c2\u00a0rule that guides you to the\u00c2\u00a0“doubling down” dictate that if you cede ground, your enemies will demand more, and it will open you up to possible nuance, reflection and self-reflection — when you need to be on the attack — “you… you’re the one whose racist, you stupid NAA COLORED!!!<\/strong> P.\u00c2\u00a0 Eh?\u00c2\u00a0 Eh?”<\/p>\n
\nEvery Tea Partier an island.<\/p>\n
\nThe headline of the day:\u00c2\u00a0 Didier campaign tops $570,000, credits Palin boost<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nthe problem with Palin’s “tweet” — is not “refudiate” — it’s that the Muslims have nothing to refudiate — whatever her nativist homeland base thinks.<\/p>\n
